A Kaifengfu, capital of Honan, dispatch reports the death of Yung Lu's wife on the 29th ultimo at Changtéfu, in the same province, while on route forthe Yangtze with her family and a large retinue; her death being brought on by the fatigues of the journey. It will be remembered by readers of these columns that quite a month before the fall of Peking, that is to say, in the earlier part of July last, while Boxerdom was at its height in the Capital, Yung Lu sent his family and a body of confidential retainers lit on to Hsian to reside in a large house which Yung Lu had purchased some years ago while he was Tartar General of Shensi province. Two months afterwards the Empress Dowager and Court also arrived and took up their residence in Hsian. Last month Yung Lu himself arrived there from Peking. The day before yesterday the news of the Empress Dowager's intention to come South to Wuchang, the capital of Hupeh province, arrived here, and now we have the news that " Yung Lu's wife had died "t Changté- fa, in Honan province, while en route to the Yangtze."
